Summary

Moms for Liberty co-founder Tiffany Justice joins Joy Reid on Moms for Liberty seeking influence over public school library content and more. "We're talking about a public school library,” Justice tells Joy of what many call the resultant, de facto book bans. “Children don't have unfettered access to the internet at school." Next, their conversation is discussed by MSNBC’s Ali Velshi and Susan Del Percio. “It’s disingenuous to call it all about sex,” Velshi tells Joy of the true motives behind the de facto bans. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
